May the Departed Soul Rest in Peace

"Then I heard a voice from heaven say, Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them." Revelation 14:13

It is with deep regret and sympathy that that I join with all of you to pray for the departed soul of Rev. Fr. Cherian Kottayil, a renowned priest of the Syrian Orthodox Church in India and that of the Diocese of Kottayam. Let us all pray for the departed soul of this venerable Priest of the Lord. On behalf of the St. Ignatius Elias III Syrian Orthodox Church in Georgia, USA, along with the Faithful, I express deep regret and condolence to the bereaved family and pray that the departed soul of this distinguished Servant of God may Rest in Peace.
